| 82. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 23rd Feb 2025. 23:58 Footage has now emerged of the ref telling Russell to move the ball nearer the touchline than was appropriate before that final conversion attempt. The England captain is also in the vicinity apparently voicing his opinion. It was picked up by one of the pundits, Jamie Roberts. Reply |

Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 24th Feb 2025. 08:21 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/videos/cvg15n2g7wpo You are right wee eck .. when you see where the try was scored and where the kick is taken from there is about 2 yards difference .. Shame van den merwe could not have stepped a wee bit closer to the posts .. I also don`t think Englands try was a try .. ach weel We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 84. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 24th Feb 2025. 08:55 There`s a good analysis on BBC Sport, mostly by John Barclay, of where Scotland went wrong. They highlighted how many times they got near England`s line without scoring points. They also thought DVM should have tried to ground the ball nearer the posts. Reply |
| 85. Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 24th Feb 2025. 09:15 I saw that 22 analysis wee eck I`m sure before half time the 22 visit stats were England 7 points Scotland 1.7 points We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 86. Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 24th Feb 2025. 21:04 Here we go wee eck Look at the Pic where VDM touches down and then the pic where Russell takes the kick https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/cx2gn3z2l72o We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 87. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 24th Feb 2025. 21:24 I just saw that, Bpp. There seems to be a lot of questions over the refereeing of the match and the use of the TMO. Both teams have complaints but it`ll all be forgotten about I expect. Reply |
| 88. Author: desparado Date: Tue 25th Feb 2025. 11:24 Was watching some analysis of the game last night and yes there were a few contentious decisions went against us but as I said further up VDM should have tried to get nearer the posts. The pundits said the same thing. He could have got closer. The look on his face when he touched down showed that he realised this. That’s where the game was lost….right there. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 89. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 25th Feb 2025. 11:48 That`s a bit like saying if the Pars had 6 chances to score the winning goal in a match and missed them all the player who missed the last chance was the one who cost us the win. We had numerous chances to score points which we missed before DVM`s try. Reply |
| 90. Author: desparado Date: Wed 26th Feb 2025. 19:18 Yeah but there was still time to make amends for the previous missed opportunities. Scotland could have taken one of those earlier chances and still lost the game. Russell slots that last kick and Scotland win…so by missing it we lost the match…. Right there.. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |

Every game Scotland seem to switch off for large spells. They done exactly the same down in Wales last year. Do that next week in Paris and instead of losing they will get gubbed. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 94. Author: Buspasspar Date: Sat 8th Mar 2025. 19:36 Wales deserved at least a draw .. they had a try denied because their excellent full back jumped over his tackler to avoid the tackle which apparently is against the rugby law Now then Mrs. would you rather be flattened in the tackle or take evasive action to avoid being hurt ? .. So why is jumping over a potential sore body not allowed Ive played .. run the line .. watched .. but never ever knew that daft law existed We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |

| 96. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 8th Mar 2025. 20:07 Buspasspar, Sat 8 Mar 19:36 Id imagine its to avoid a knee to the head of the would he tackler. It’s slightly different from American football where the tackler has a helmet on. Really poor 2nd half from us again, and whats more frustrating is knowing that had Finn kicked that final conversion v England wed have been going to France where a win would see us in with a chance of winning it……. Townsends time has ran its course I think. Reply |
| 97. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 8th Mar 2025. 20:52 Yeah, sack the coach, that always works. Some delightful touches from Finn Russell in the highlights I saw and he seems to have found his kicking boots again. Reply |
| 98. Author: Andrew283 Date: Sat 8th Mar 2025. 23:13 You only watched the highlights... Under Townsend we have a huge mentality problem. 0 bottle Reply |
| 99. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 9th Mar 2025. 00:45 I saw the last 20 minutes when I got home from Falkirk. It seems to me we have a decent squad of players but insufficient depth to keep up the high standard of the starting XV when the subs come on, especially when we have a few players unavailable through injury. I don`t think you can lay that at Townsend`s door. We`ve always had a pretty shallow pool of players to choose from, even after taking advantage of the residence rules. Scotland have come on a ton in the last few years and tries are almost guaranteed now. Not so long ago we could hardly get over the line. Reply |
